Color Blindness in Germany.

Some interesting results have been
yielded by an extensive investigation
into the prevalence of color blind
ness on German railways. The inquiry
which lasted several years-the latest
data having been obtained on July /,
1886-was extended to seventy-nine
railways. OF 104,743 persons tested
from April l, 1882, to July 1, 1886, $50.
or 81 per cent, were found to be color
blind. Of 259, ,726 persons tested up to
July of last year, 1,934, or 81 per cent.
were color blind, while of 145, ,456 of.
ficers and servants employed on the
seventy-nine railways on July 1, 1886,
100 were entirely and AL partially
color blind, percentage of .37. The
methods of testing were chiefly the Still.
ling method (by means of color plates)
and the Holmgren method (by means
of colored wooden threads); but the
Daae, Cohn, Schmidt and Rimpler
methods were also adopted. In Is, 201
cases the test was repeated, and 3O5
times did the results differ from former
results. The officials of German rail
ways who are color blind have been
given duties in the discharge of which
their incapacity can have no i'll result,
SO that there is no danger in their con-
tinued employment-PaU Mall Gazette.

THERE COMES A TIME. .

There comes a time when we grow old,
And like sunset down the sea
Slope gradual, and the night-winds cold
Come Whispering sad and chillingly;
And locks are gray
As winters day,
And eyes of saddest blue behold
The leaves all weary drift away,
And lips of faded coral say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when joyous hearts,
Which leaped rs leaps the laughing main,
Are dead to all save memory,
As prisoner in his dungeon chain;
And dawn of day,
Hath passed away,
The moon hath INTO darkness rolled,
Aud, by the embers wan and gray,
hear a voice, in whispers say,
There comes a time when VIC grow old.
There comes a time when manhOod's prime
Is shrouded in tho mist of years,
And beauty, fading like dream,
Hath passed away in silent tears;
Aud then how dark!
But oh, the spark
That kiudled youth TO hueS of gold.
Still burns with clear and steady ray,
And fond affections lingering, say
There comes time when We grow old.
There comes q time when laughing Spring
And golden summer cease TO be,
And we put on the Autumn robe,
To tread the last dgclivity;
But now the slope,
With rosy HOPE,
Beyond the sunset we behold
Another dawn. with fairer light,
While watchers whisper through the
night
There comes a time when we grow old.
